Resin parts of my own production for sale

For some of my modeling projects I made my own parts, and often produced a few resin copies. They are available for purchase. Please contact me at Rob de Bie for more information. Payment can be done via PayPal, or bank transfer within the EU.

About the postage: I used to be able to ship resin parts for 2.20 euros in an bubble envelope as a letter, but due to international post agreements this is no longer possible. Per 1 January 2020, all international shipments of goods are now packages, with obligatory online registration no less. Postage of a typical shipment jumped to 10 euros, or even 24 euros with track and trace. I'm of course very unhappy about this development.

• set of three underfuselage inlets for the 1/72 Lockheed U-2C, 4 euros. Cast from scratch-built parts.

    

• double rear wheel set for 1/72 MD-3 Mule navy deck tractor, 4 euros. Cast from doubled Fujimi Mule wheel, with flattend contact area, and separate Verlinden hub.

       

• M116 napalm bomb, similar to Mark 77 Mod 0, 1/48 scale. Cutting Edge used to produce a similar item (CEC48171) but it is long out of production. Single piece casting, from scratch-built parts. Used from roughly 1950 to 1970 by many aircraft like A-26, AU-1 Corsair, French F8F, NATO F-84F, etc. 10 euros for a set of two.

       

• In preparation: similar to the above M116, it was also used as underwing 110 gallon fuel tanks by P-51 Mustangs, as used by USAF (Korean War), Air National Guard, Philippines and Guatamala

• AN-M66 2000 lbs bomb with conical tail, 1/48 scale, as used in Vietnam war (A-6 for example) and NATO (F-84F for example). Two piece casting, from scratch-built parts. 12 euros for a set of two.

    

• ALE-2 chaff pod, 1/48 scale, as used by EB-57E, T-33A, F-4, Firebee and many other aircraft. Photos show the master under construction.

Decal sheets of my own design for sale

I designed custom decal sets for some of my own models. If you're interested, I can order more prints. Please contact me at Rob de Bie for more information. Payment can be done via PayPal, or bank transfer within the EU. The shipping will be as a letter, not a package as with the resin parts. They are custom printed by SpotModel in Spain. As an extra service, if you want some small changes to the decal sheet, I can include those.

• A replica sheet of the old Revell 1/72 F-16 from 1976. The decal sheet of my old Revell-Germany 1/72 F-16 (H-222 and derivatives) was printed with one intermediate color for both the black and dark blue parts. My redrawn version has both colors correctly represented, and has vibrant colors. I can provide variantions, like 'YF-16' instead of 'F-16', different colors, or the flags of the buying countries. 12 euros.

             

• The markings for the C-130Hs of 336 squadron, Royal Netherlands Air Force. Flevo Decals did these decals in four scales (catalog numbers 200-001, 144-001, 72-008 and 48-008) but they are sold out. I started from scratch and improved the decal accuracy. Smaller stencils are not included, you can use the kit stencils. The decals can be printed in any desired scale. I can also provide 'bleached' versions of the roundels and squadron badges, since the paint on these aircraft quickly changes from FS 36173 to a much lighter color. Price depends on the size of the sheet. A 1/144 sheet with all four serials and 'bleached' roundels and badges is around 10 euros. A 1/72 sheet with all four serials and 'bleached' roundels and badges is around 28 euros, but costs can be reduced by eliminating serials. Other scales are also possible, I've had requests for 1/128 and 1/200.

  

• Pander Postjager, for the Execuform vacform kit. The underwing markings can be done as 'reversed' lettering in the orange areas, or as light gray (silverish) as shown at the top. Price depends on the size of the sheet.

  

• BQM-34F Firebee II, for the 1976 William Tell exercise

• Gee Bee R1 and R2, with separate pinstripe decals and masks. Maybe even a version with a blue instead of black pinstripe, which might be more accurate

• 1/32 HH-43B, for the first color scheme in silver lacquer with Navy-style markings
